New Year's Eve at the bar: cocktail recipes to celebrate
The turn of the year is just around the corner. In many kitchens, the raclette or fondue is brought out to celebrate the New Year with the family. But what comes after the meal? As a rule, you are probably familiar with this: at midnight at the New Year's Eve party, a toast is made with sparkling wine, Prosecco or champagne. But it doesn't always have to be the same thing, does it? We have the perfect idea: enjoy the New Year in comfort with your own bar furniture and the perfect New Year's Eve cocktail. Here are three of our favorite recipes.
Gin fizz: sparkling, spicy, fresh
The gin fizz is a true classic among cocktails. This popular drink has been on everyone's lips for several years now, and rightly so. You will need the following for this refreshing drink:
- Cocktail shaker with strainer
- Measuring cup
- Long drink glass
- Lemon squeezer
- 6 cl gin of your choice
- 2 cl freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1.5 cl sugar syrup
- 15 cl soda water for the sparkle
- 1 slice of lemon for decoration
Fill a cocktail shaker with ice cubes. Then pour the gin, freshly squeezed lemon juice and sugar syrup into the shaker one after the other. Shake vigorously for 15 - 20 seconds. Fill the glass with a few ice cubes. Then pour the mixture through the sieve into the long drink glass and garnish the glass with a lemon.
Cucumber Gimlet: Fresh and fruity
The Cucumber Gimlet is a fruity and tart alternative for every gin lover. Crunchy cucumbers add that certain something to this drink. You will need the following ingredients for this exclusive drink:
- Cocktail shaker with strainer
- Measuring cup
- Lemon squeezer
- Plunger
- Wine glass
- 6 cl gin of your choice
- 2.25 cl freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1.5 cl sugar syrup
- 3 thickly sliced cucumber slices
Fill the shaker with the cucumber and sugar syrup. Crush both with the pestle. Then fill the shaker with crushed ice, the gin and the lime juice. Now shake vigorously for several seconds. Then pour the cocktail through the sieve into the wine glass. Garnish the glass with a slice of cucumber.
Ipanema: Alcohol-free and simply delicious
The Ipanema combines everything a good cocktail needs: Freshness, fruit and a pleasant acidity. Above all, you only need a few ingredients and can start the new year tasty and alcohol-free:
- High glass
- Plunger
- Measuring cup
- 6 cl ginger ale
- 1 lime
- 2 teaspoons cane sugar
Cut the lime into eight pieces and place the lime in the glass together with the sugar. Make sure the glass is a little sturdier, as the next step is to crush the lime and sugar properly with the pestle. Then fill the glass with ice cubes and the ginger ale. The popular, non-alcoholic cocktail is ready.
What the bar needs: furniture for celebrating
The secret dream of many people: Your own bar furniture and your own bar. Make your dream come true in the new year and be inspired by the possibilities with MöbelFirst. Our recommendation: If you want a bar with stools, you should pay attention to good quality and a few features. First: the bar stools. If you buy bar stools, make sure you get a bar stool with a backrest. The typical "pub" stools without a backrest may be practical, but they can quickly become uncomfortable. It's also always a good idea to look for chairs that swivel so that your guests don't always have to turn the whole chair.
The second thing that comes into play is the perfect bar table. Choose a higher table where you can sit comfortably but also stand very comfortably. The sturdy table should be of such high quality that you can lean against it easily and also have room for a few drinks.
We also recommend a serving trolley to go with a stylish bar table. You can place all the drinks you need on it that are not in constant use. You can also easily move it around the room if you want to serve drinks in a different place.
